The Liber Christo Method: A Field Manual for Spiritual Combat
By Dan Schneider, PhD · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Spiritual combat is not a metaphor—it is a serious, real-world demand for every Catholic. The Liber Christo Method serves as a tactical field manual for this invisible war, offering practical, experience-based guidance to overcome the ancient enemy. Drawing on powerful war analogies informed by the author’s military background and his years of service on a world-renowned exorcism team, Dan Schneider outlines concrete steps to obtain lasting spiritual freedom. This is not a book of abstract theory; it is a disciplined program of renunciation, repentance, confession, and prayer designed to help the faithful stand firm against spiritual oppression and reclaim the territory of their souls for Christ.
- Tactical Deliverance: Move beyond vague spiritual concepts with a grounded, step-by-step Catholic approach to deliverance and spiritual protection.
- Combat-Proven Wisdom: Benefit from the unique perspective of a combat veteran who marries military precision with traditional Catholic theology and exorcism ministry experience.
- Understanding Authority: Learn the vital principles of spiritual authority—knowing exactly what you have the power to command and how to remain under the Church’s protective mantle.
- Practical Discernment: Develop the skills to recognize the subtle strategies of the enemy in contemporary life, helping you safeguard your home and family from evil influences.
- Personal Transformation: Use these disciplined tactics not just for defense, but as a roadmap for radical growth in holiness and interior peace.
The "Five Smooth Stones" of Spiritual Combat:
- Renunciation: Breaking the specific legal rights given to the enemy through past sin or occult involvement.
- Repentance: A deep, structural turning away from the darkness that fuels spiritual oppression.
- Confession: Utilizing the Sacrament as the ultimate weapon of healing and deliverance.
- Spiritual Authority: Understanding the hierarchy of protection within the family and the Church.
- Prayer Tactics: Specific, disciplined prayer methods for maintaining a state of spiritual freedom.
Intended Audience
This manual is essential for adult Catholics, clergy, and catechists concerned with the reality of spiritual warfare. It is a vital resource for fathers seeking to protect their families, individuals struggling with deep-seated spiritual habits or oppression, and anyone looking for a serious, Church-rooted guide to the ministry of deliverance.
FAQs
Is this book only for those dealing with extraordinary demonic activity?
No. While it is rooted in exorcism ministry experience, the tactics are designed for the "ordinary" spiritual combat every Christian faces—temptation, spiritual dryness, and the influence of a secular world.
Can a layperson safely use these methods?
Yes. Dr. Schneider places a heavy emphasis on "staying in your lane" and respecting spiritual authority, ensuring that laypeople use only the tools appropriate for their state in life.
How does this differ from other spiritual warfare books?
Most books focus on the "what" of spiritual warfare; this manual focuses on the "how," providing a rigorous, tactical methodology modeled after the Liber Christo training protocols used by priests and deacons.

This book
I was surprised at how battle terms are used and likened to what goes on in an exorcism. For me this was a good thing. It still took a few weeks to read this book. Thank you for writing it. Well written. Glad I bought it.
